Upon the confirmation of the host-institution, the Development Bank of Turkey (DBT), the endorsement of the Board of Directors during its 73rd Meeting, and the approval of the General Assembly during its 19th Ordinary Meeting, the 35th ADFIAP Annual Meetings next year (2012) will be held in Istanbul, Turkey (dates to be announced). The Annual Meetings’ host and venue are based on voluntary offering by ADFIAP member-institutions. Preparations for the meetings are essentially undertaken for at least one year, with the Secretariat and the host-institution coordinating their efforts, with guidance from the Board and inputs from other members.
